Steve Cohen, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee’s 9th district, has taken to social media to express his concerns over recent political developments involving Elon Musk and Republican lawmakers. His tweets have drawn attention to the alleged access granted to Musk and his associates to various government data systems.
On February 5, 2025, Steve Cohen tweeted that “Republicans gave Elon Musk the green light to let a 19-year-old and his young pals access every payment and data system at OPM, the GSA, and Treasury.” He further claimed that a substantial campaign donation had facilitated this access.
In another tweet on the same day, Cohen provided additional resources for those seeking more information. He shared links for further reading: “More insight here from @HC_Richardson: https://t.co/dDk5Th2tcO Full story from Wired here: https://t.co/wyH23q1ms5”
On February 6, 2025, Cohen continued his critique by stating that “Republicans handed Musk’s team access to Medicare & Social Security data.” He expressed concern about potential plans to reduce benefits in favor of tax cuts for billionaires and vowed to oppose these actions.
